Maddy's Magnificent Story

I saw the crowds cheering in amazement! It was like magic sparkles.

Ben's Brilliant Writing

Once upon a time there was a mad scientist. He wanted to rule the world but first he needed something to help him. All of a sudden, BANG! lightning struck the ground and that made a machine! Suddenly a windup robot marched out and it had plasma shields surrounding it. Then it was the mad scientist verses machine! Again a windup robot marched out. Then the mad scientist called his magic light saber. It cut the robots easily, all the gears went flying out.

Recipe for making ice cream at home

After we read a big book called The Giant's Ice cream, the children asked if we could make some ice cream. Mrs Hartley searched for a recipe of how to make ice cream in a plastic bag. Here is the recipe. It takes lots of persevering and shaking but well worth it! See our video below and leave us a comment

You will need:

• 1/2 cup whole milk (dark blue)
  
• 1 tablespoon of sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon of vanilla extract, chocolate syrup, or cocoa powder
• ice (crushed would work better)
  
• rock salt

Put milk, sugar and flavouring into a zip loc plastic bag

Place that bag into a larger plastic bag (zip loc would work best - less leaks!) with the ice and rock salt

Shake, massage and agitate the bag until it freezes (10-15 minutes)

Tip: It is important that you are mixing the contents of the inner bag, but you don’t want to be so aggressive that you burst the inner bag or cut it on the ice. Double-bagging should prevent this. If your hands get uncomfortably cold, use a towel or an old t-shirt to hold the bags as you massage them; they will be quite cold

Enjoy!
